Master is not to be provoked

One autumn rain and one cold, the weather is getting colder and colder, you can see the cold air coming out of your mouth when you go out in the morning, people are all wearing long clothes and johns, with Xu Leyang around, Ke Muai no longer spends money as he did last year. I bought three sets of thick long johns, one big and two small, and thick socks. I bought another ten catties of cotton, made new bedding, and tried my best to get through autumn and get ready for winter.

He and Jing Yunsong picked mountain products once during the summer vacation, and went back to pick them again on November. Although Jing Yunsong followed them a few times during the market, there were more fast classes and fewer slow classes, and it was easy to ask for leave. , Ke Muai often asked for leave to go to the market to sell mountain products, and sometimes sat on the front beam of Xu Leyang's car and asked him to take it to the county to sell. When people were not paying attention, he took out a lot from the space and added it, making a lot of money.

The last time Bai Junyi ate at their house, he couldn't forget it all the time, and finally found a chance to invite them back. The three of Xu Leyang came to the door for the first time, bringing a large bag of mushrooms, a large bag of hazelnuts, a pair of crucian carp, and a jar of mince wine brewed by Ke Muai .

After eating, Bai Junyi still felt indebted to them, so he picked a Sunday after the eleventh day, and invited the three nephews and uncles to the zoo in the city for a day of shopping on the grounds of celebrating Jing Yunsong's winning the first prize in the essay competition. , Xu Leyang scrambled to buy the train ticket and pay for the meal, Ke Muai bought four scarves, two big and two small, both with the same light green pattern, and Bai Junyi also got one, he felt more and more sorry, bought four pairs of sneakers, fearing that people would not want them, I also bought a pair for myself, both are famous brands.

Ke Muai made a lot of pots and jars, picked and bought all kinds of wild fruits and vegetables, brewed wine, pickled pickles, and spent a lot of money on the seasoning alone, and the food they made was really delicious, especially It is a versatile dish made from more than 20 kinds of raw materials such as diced meat, diced vegetables, hazelnuts, pine nuts, peanuts, etc. It can not only be fried alone, but also can be paired with other dishes, such as fish stew, all of which are excellent Yes, very popular at home and abroad, Ke Muai asked Xu Leyang to send a can to Bai Junyi's home, and asked Jing Yunsong to send a can to Teacher Yang's home.

As the weather keeps getting colder, Xu Leyang's ice cream has also entered the off-season, and it is getting harder and harder to sell. Moreover, it is windy and rainy all day long, and even if you ride a bicycle for a long distance, you can't sell ten ice creams in a day.

I had to find another job. Xu Leyang originally planned to sell some trinkets and toys at the school gate, but Ke Muai vetoed him when she found out: "It doesn't make any money, and it's getting colder and colder in the future. It's really hard work. In fact, uncle, I have already thought about it for you, you must be able to do it and earn money."

Xu Leyang knew that this little nephew had always had ideas, so he asked anxiously, "What exactly is it?"

"Install the heater!"

"Installation of heating?" Xu Leyang scratched his head, "I have never done it, nor have I seen it. Apart from collective heating in the teacher's building and the town government, there are no other enterprises in the countryside that want to install heating."

Ke Muai took a piece of paper and a pen, drew a picture on it and explained: "It's not the kind of large one, it's for household use, small heating, now, every family has a stove, the house is too dusty, the box cover It is cleaned every day, but there is still a layer of big tails, and the fire must be turned off before going to bed at night, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned by gas. What I am talking about is to move the stove to the outhouse, which is a small boiler, so two The pipes lead to the back room and connect to the radiators."

The kind of household heating he mentioned developed in the countryside here about two or three years later in his previous life. Once it appeared, in a short period of time, almost every household installed it, saying goodbye to setting up a stove in the bedroom. During the time when he went to the zoo a few days ago, he was waiting for the bus halfway. He saw this kind of heater in a small shop at the junction of urban and rural areas, but it hadn't appeared around Shiqiao Town.

Xu Leyang thought for a while: "This thing...can I do it?" He was a little uncertain.

"Sure! Uncle, how many years have you been an apprentice in a car repair shop? Water welding, electric welding, and electric welding are easy for you to play with a wrench, pliers, and electric drill. It doesn't take much effort to do this. It's a little harder to buckle."

Xu Leyang was so moved by what he said, and went to the city with him the next day to find a manufacturer of boilers and radiators. After calculating the cost, he thought it would be profitable, so he hired a car and bought [-] radiators. I also bought a set of plates, five boilers, some heating pipes, and tools such as hacksaws, wrenches, and pipe pliers.

Ke Muai knew that Xu Leyang had earned some money selling ice cream this summer, but it was not a lot. It was hard-earned money earned from five cents and ten cents, and he had to feed their two young children. Although Ke Muai took the initiative to buy rice and vegetables, But Xu Leyang also has to bear a lot of daily necessities, and often buys books, pens and clothes for them. , so he also took out half of the money: "Uncle, I have already made plans. I will definitely make a lot of money after this job. Now it is fashionable to invest in everything outside, and I want to invest in shares. The two of us will pay half of the money. After earning money, you have to give me three layers of net profit."

"You're a big kid! You've got to buy shares before this horoscope is written!" Xu Leyang rubbed Ke Muai's head, "My uncle doesn't want your money, no matter whether this thing can make money, my uncle will support you, and you can't afford it. You Songsong, in the future, I will support you to go to college and marry you daughters-in-law, you must not be ungrateful, and you will give me a pension."

He picked up Ke Muai and put it on his shoulders, and Ke Muai touched the bottom of his buttocks: "Uncle, you have grown up again, your shoulders are wider than before, and you can sit more stably, but you are still a little thin, you need to grow up Get fatter, and it will be more comfortable to sit on."

"Nonsense, how old is my uncle, and he can still grow!"

"Why not? 23 is still running around! But brother-in-law, I still want to buy shares. I am very excited when I think that you have my share in this business. Brother-in-law, please, let me buy shares, otherwise From now on, I won’t advise you anymore, I won’t sew socks for you, I won’t scratch your back itch, and I won’t let my little aunt in from now on, I’ll roll on the ground when she comes…”

"Okay, okay, bring the money, uncle will keep it for you..."

"It's not collecting, it's buying shares! I'm investing!"

"Yes, yes, it's an investment in shares. I will give you 100 yuan for every [-] yuan I earn in the future."

To do business, you have to shout, especially for this new thing, if you don’t make a show, no one will spend money to test the water.

The first client Ke Muai selected was Bai Junyi, and he asked Xu Leyang to come to the door with a jar of Bai Junyi's father's favorite mince wine to sell his products.

Father Bai's name is Bai Tianlai, a cadre in the city. He retired at home the year before last. His wife died early, and he raised two sons and a daughter. Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter are married and have children. Only the youngest son, Bai Junyi, is left with him at home. living everywhere.

Father Bai has gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses. According to Bai Junyi, he has been a leader for half his life and is very dignified. Now that he is getting older, his majesty is getting less and more amiable. Everyone is smiling.

Seeing Xu Leyang coming to the door, the old man put down the newspaper and came out from the back room: "Yangyang is here, ouch, it's Mumu's mincemeat wine again, I know I like this one." He took the wine jar and told Bai Junyi, "You talk to him here , I’ll warm a small cup first when I enter the house.” The old man is fond of wine, he doesn’t drink too much, but is keen on wine competition, and he has half a cabinet of famous wines in the house, all of which are opened. After drinking for a long time, I just eat the food, and just sit on the chair with my eyes closed and taste the taste.

Bai Junyi was a little helpless: "It's not healthy for you to drink on an empty stomach before you have eaten."

"Mumu's wine doesn't have a strong alcohol content, it's just like a drink, it doesn't matter if you drink it normally, it's fine, if I don't drink it when I'm eating, my mouth is full of vegetables, and the aroma of the wine is washed away gone."

Xu Leyang spoke politely to the old man, then told Bai Junyi about his new job, and showed him the blueprint: "Install a small boiler next to the boiler in the outhouse of your house, and then put four pieces in the east room of uncle, The four parts of your east room can be warmed, saving you two stoves in the east and west rooms, not to mention the ashes, and you are prone to gas poisoning."

Bai Junyi looked at it: "This thing... I believe you, my house will be safe, my old man screwed it up, I have to tell him, I guess it's about the same, he left my brother and me alone I can’t live in the buildings in my sister’s city, so I ran back here to watch over me, the stove has been getting old in the past two years, your thing is similar to the heating in the city.”

He took the drawings to the east room, and Xu Leyang also went over to give an explanation. The old man nodded repeatedly: "This thing already exists on the edge of the city. I've seen it. No one here has done it yet. Can you think of it? That’s great, she’s more discerning than our little wing!”

Xu Leyang blushed a little after being praised: "Mumu came up with the idea. He said that this thing can make a lot of money, and he even took a few hundred yuan to invest with me, asking for [-]% of the net profit."

"That kid Mumu is really weird. It's the first time I've met such a kid. It can be said that he is one in a million. It's just that he doesn't want to use his cleverness to study, but people in this world are not perfect. Yes, otherwise I will be envied by God, I am a little jealous now, our Xiaoyi is too dull, like a little fool, she is already in preschool, she has diarrhea and she pulls it in her trousers, that winter, she pulled it in the morning, you The aunt picked it up for him, changed into a new cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and sent it to the school to tell him that if he wanted to poop, he must tell the teacher. The kid is half smart, and I don't have to worry about his promotion at such an age."

Bai Junyi's fair face immediately flushed red: "Dad, what are you talking about, Le Yang asked you if you want to install the heater, and you just said such a lot of things..." He glanced at it embarrassingly. Xu Leyang, seeing Xu Leyang laughing at him, immediately blushed even more.
